A/N: I hope you enjoy this, took a while to come up with the reasons haha enjoy the Jori. Also I don't own Victorious.

"Outta of the way, Vega!"

Jade stormed passed me, hate etched on her features, violence in her step. She'd been that way since she and Beck had split up a few weeks ago, and though I felt that we were finally making progress as friends (thanks to Sikowitz's crazy "date" idea) her behavior towards me hadn't really changed. I suppose that's just Jade.

"Who are you kidding, Tori. You want more than friendship in that department."

True. I couldn't argue with myself on that one. I had never felt one way or the other about girls, until Jade came into my life. It started as a little crush, maybe mixed with some jealousy, okay a lot of jealousy (the girl has insane talent). As I spent more time with her, though, I began to notice more than just her talent. Like the way her ice blue eyes sparkle in the light, or when they burn when she's angry, the way her midnight colored hair waves in the wind, and how it shrouds her when she's upset. Her stance, the way her lips quirk when she wants to smile but is trying not to, her legs- whoa there Tori, let move on shall we?

As Jade shoulder charges the door, I notice a slip of paper fall from the stack of books in her arms. I scoop it up and read the head line. It looks like a list as I unfold it.

"No way..."

A Few Reasons Why I like Tori Vega

The way she always smell nice, even if its just shampoo.

How cute she is when she eats.

The way she's always warm, even if its negative 30 degrees.

The way she looks good no matter what she wears.

The way she smiles.

How cute she is when she stands up to me.

The way she lets me fall into her arms when I cry.

The ease with which I fit into her arms.

When she hits me and expects it to hurt.

Then the way she apologizes when it does hurt(even if I won't admit it.)

How she always tries so hard to be my friend.

And last, the way she looks at me, as though I'm at the summitt and she's just at the foot, when clearly its the other way around.

Speechless, I stand there in Sikowitz's empty class room reading and re-reading the note. Breaking the spell, I rush out the door, heart bursting with happiness, to find Jade and tell her exacty how I feel.
